Start with the decision the assessment requires.
Students may repeat the case, apply several models superficially, overlook constraints or make recommendations that do not follow from their findings.
A useful review does not begin by guessing from a short topic. Command words, learning outcomes, marking criteria and required deliverables need to be read together. The same subject can require a very different response at undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral level, and a familiar format may be adapted by a particular institution.
Suitable support
Guidance can organise facts, compare analytical frameworks, identify assumptions, structure evaluation and test the logic of recommendations.
Before work begins, the scope should state what will be reviewed, what type of guidance will be supplied, which files control the requirement and what remains the student’s responsibility. This creates a shared reference point for communication, delivery and any later revision request.
